Speaking of this, Murong Longcheng, who had always been calm and composed, became excited, and said hatefully: "At that time, I was still a teenager, carefree every day, except for learning archery and horses, reading military books, the rest of the time I could follow my father to go hunting, compete with the little brothers in the clan (Note 1), and fantasize with my friends that one day I would return to the grassland and hold a grand Naadam like my ancestors...... However, the arrival of Jinyiwei broke all this, led the local officers and soldiers, surrounded and suppressed our people, and ninety-one people up and down, none of them were spared except me...... Escaping, I swear to heaven that I will only do one thing in this life, that is, to overthrow the Ming court and kill the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Xia Nan thought for a moment after hearing this, "It turns out that the national hatred has become a family feud...... With your personal ability, you obviously can't accomplish this goal, and you have been chased by the Jinyi Guards from the north to the south during this period. So, after meeting me, you want to borrow a knife to kill people and use my power to fulfill your wishes? ”

"That's right!" Murong Longcheng replied, "Since I saw the clipper ship that travels hundreds of miles a day at the port of Macao, I know that the general is not a thing in the pool, and after careful inquiry, I learned what you did in Qiongzhou Mansion, so I wanted to find an opportunity to get close. Later, Wei Zhong pursued me to Guangzhou, but created an opportunity for me to join the Qiong Navy. As long as I can change the dynasty and kill the Ming Emperor, I am willing to be driven by the general! ”

Xia Nan was silent for a while, then looked up and asked, "Can I trust you?" After all, you are the descendant of Prime Minister Meng Yuan who is determined to oppose the Ming Dynasty and restore the country, don't you want to borrow troops to restore the country? ”

"People are self-aware. Although I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, and I am skilled in archery and horses, I once thought that I was both civil and military, but I found that in the face of the magic of the general and Master Lin, my personal martial arts are really not worth mentioning. No matter how powerful the fists and feet are, can they compare to the musket? No matter how powerful the bow and arrow are, can they compare to a cannon? Not to mention the thousands of large plywood ships - the bombardment of Shimazu's Tsurumaru Castle made me know that the artillery fire of a fleet is enough to destroy a city. This world, after all, is yours of the general, and the era of the Mongols riding and archery has passed......," Murong Longcheng said calmly, "As for borrowing troops to restore the country, it is even more impossible." The Joan Navy was created by you, you are the soul of this army, and others can't take it away if they want to seize power. ”

Looking at Xia Nan, who was silent, Murong Longcheng added another bargaining chip to gain the other party's trust: "If the general still has doubts about me, I can present the jade seal of the country to the general to show my sincerity." It's just buried in the ground of Mobei, and it takes time to take it out. ”

"Is the heirloom jade seal really in your hands?" Summer Minami looked up in surprise. Although as a traverser, he is not very interested in this legendary heirloom jade seal - the world is won by strength, not by a seal - but knowing the weight of this thing in the minds of the ancients, Murong Longcheng and his people have collected it for hundreds of years, and they are actually willing to give it out, which shows his sincerity.

Murong Longcheng said proudly: "The three things that Zhu Yuanzhang regretted in his life were almost all related to us. My ancestor Kuangkhor Timur was not caught by him, and his descendants have not been caught until my lifetime. The jade seal of the country is also in our hands, and the Ming Dynasty is almost finished, but we still haven't gotten it! ”

Xia Nan stared into his eyes and asked, "You are indeed very sincere." But I also want to ask, since you have been on a mission for so many years, how can you give up so easily? ”

A trace of loneliness flashed in Murong Longcheng's eyes: "No matter how proud my ancestors are, he is just a courtier after all, he is not a descendant of the Golden Family, and if he wants to restore the country by himself, his name is not right." My grandfather and father had already expressed this kind of thought, and it naturally affected me. If it weren't for the sudden tragedy, I wouldn't have thought about seeking revenge on the emperor of the Ming Dynasty - as long as the goal of revenge can be achieved, I don't mind who will be the emperor of the new dynasty. ”

Hearing him say this, Xia Nan suddenly remembered the scene on the dock in Tianjin, and asked, "You are so eager to change from the captain of the Navy to the Marine Corps that has not yet been established, do you also have this idea?" ”

"Exactly. No matter how powerful the naval artillery is, it can't hit the city of Beijing, and it can't hurt a single cold hair of the Ming Emperor. Joining the Marine Corps, there is the possibility of cooperating with the Lu Division to attack the capital, and I will have the opportunity to witness the fall of the Proving Court and the death of Chongzhen with my own eyes. ”

Summer Nan let out a sigh of relief. Voluntarily sacrificing the jade seal of the country, from the position of captain in power to applying to join a new army from scratch, all kinds of actions can show that Murong Longcheng is simply to take revenge on the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, and there is no so-called fantasy of borrowing troops to restore the country. In this way, regardless of those missions and identities, as a subordinate with considerable military talent, he can still be trusted.

"Well, I've decided to trust you and give you a chance. However, if I find out that you have done anything in the military that is not good for me and the Joan Navy, I will make you disappear from this world, and there will never be a second chance. ”

Murong Longcheng covered his right hand in front of his chest, bowed to a Mongolian, and replied respectfully: "Please rest assured, General, Murong has no two hearts." ”

"Okay, that's all for now, I know what to expect. You go out first. ”

When Murong Longcheng walked to the door, Xia Nan remembered something and asked, "What to do with that Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wei Zhong, do you want to kill the enemy?" ”

Murong Longcheng replied calmly: "Although he once chased me to Guangzhou, it was not he who slaughtered my people back then, so it is up to the general to decide what to do with him." ”

Xia Nan nodded, "By the way, did you take this Chinese name casually, or do you have any origin?" This is also a question that he has always had in his heart, without him, because this kind of name has appeared in martial arts in the old time and space, and the Ming Dynasty is very rare.

"Originally, the Han names of my branch were all surnamed Wang, but in order to hide people's eyes, I used my mother's surname to the outside world - my mother's surname was Murong. As for the name, it is taken from Hala and Lim. Back then, my ancestors fled here with Emperor Yuan Hui as the capital. Hala and Lin were also the royal court of the ancient Xiongnu Khanate, and it was also the place where they sacrificed to the dragon god, so this place is also called the Dragon City. Therefore, my Chinese name is Murong Longcheng. ”

I see! Xia Nan continued to ask curiously, "Oh, what about the Japanese Tichina, what does it mean in Mongolian?" ”

Murong Longcheng paused and puffed up his chest, "The meaning of the Pori Ti Chena in Mongolian is: blue wolf. ”
